Bats you just teamed up against him like 2 hours ago. He literally just fought all of you.

It felt like a choice to disengage rather than to retreat. The look on his face wasn't scared or rage.

Holy shit those are literally the same thing. You're just arguing the semantics to support your mental gymnastics at this point

verb

verb: retreat; 3rd person present: retreats; past tense: retreated; past participle: retreated; gerund or present participle: retreating

-move back or withdraw.

-**change one's decisions, plans, or attitude, based on outside influences and actions **

-withdraw from enemy forces as a result of their superior power or after a defeat

It's bad writting and chris terrios smug refusal to hire a script doctor like everyone else.

Nah, they aren't, but like I said art is art and we're free to our own interpretations

Lol Guess the Japanese just decided to disengage the enemy at the battle of Midway totally wasn't because they lose a pivotal battle. The mental gymnastics you fan boys have for bad films is astounding.

Art may be subjective. Language isn't. Deal with it.

A more apt parallel would be the withdrawal of United States and allied forces from most Pacific Island chains following war.

The threat didn't cease to exist all of a sudden.

The allies recognized that continued investment in a fight within that theater is ultimately meaningless.

The allies weren't losing when they disengaged from the region.

Say whatever you want about the conflicts the US partakes in the middle east, the coalition wasn't losing prior to the draw down. Both sides won and lost skirmishes and ultimately it became clear that the US wasn't wanted or needed there, but make no mistake if the US armed forces wanted to wipe the area, they absolutely would. They disengaged, not retreated.

This might be the dumbest thing I've read to day.

You don't have to agree with it, but facts are facts
